Vale’s short tour of Cornwall continues with their sixth pre-season game – a match against Bodmin Town at their Priory Park ground.

Bodmin Town have a long history, having been formed way back in 1889.In more recent times, they joined the South Western League in 1953, finishing as high as fourth in 1958 before resigning in order to join the East Cornwall Premier League.

The 1954–55 season saw the club make its debut in the FA Cup getting to the first qualifying round.

The club returned to the South Western League seven years later and continued to compete in that league until 2007, when they became a founding member of the South West Peninsula League.

Since joining the South West Peninsula League the club has managed to dominate it by winning 4 championships and coming Runners-up twice, therefore not finishing outside of the top two since the league began.

The 2012–13 season saw the club win the South West Peninsula League for the fourth time and completed a treble by winning the Throgmorton Cup and Cornwall Senior Cup.
